Fade nodded and said, "Okay, I'll keep your business card, but for now, I don't need anything, so..."
After that, he waved his hand, ready to say goodbye, wanting to explore deeper.
However, Panos followed him and said, "It's your first time in such a deep place. This is not a shallow area. You can't wander around simply, otherwise, you will be in danger."
"Why?" Fade asked casually.
Panos responded, "Those who can come here are fairly powerful. After years of fighting, many areas have been taken up by great martial artists and have become their personal territories. If you accidentally step into their territory, you'll probably be killed without any reason. That would be terrible."
"Personal territories?" Fade felt that this term was somewhat unbelievable.
Panos took the opportunity to take out a piece of craft paper to try and sell it. "I have a map here that has the 30 kilometers to 50 kilometers area marked. The range of each territory is stated, as well as its owners."
"For your safety's sake, why don't you buy one to avoid any conflicts?"
At that moment, Panos had on the familiar expression of a businessman, which looked kind to Fade.
Feeling a little tempted, he asked, "How much is this map?"
Panos reached out his right hand, showed it to Fade, and said, "Not expensive, just five pieces of Frozen Jade Ice."
"Five pieces?" Fade raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't that expensive? People from the shallow area, who even risk their lives, might not even be able to get a single piece of Frozen Jade Ice!"
Panos smiled and said, "Sir, just as you said, they are from the shallow area, which means that they are just ordinary people. Since you've arrived here, you're definitely not an ordinary person. For you, five pieces of
Frozen Jade Ice is nothing."
"Besides, with just five pieces, you can prevent conflicts and dangers. It's a good deal!"
After Fade thought for a moment, he looked at Panos and asked, "How do I know whether this map is real or not? I wouldn't know if you simply drew something!"
Panos patted his chest and promised with a serious look, "Sir, you can rest assured about this. We have been doing business here for so long, and business reputation is very important. If we fake the map, someone would have taken it up with us a long time ago. How could we survive until now?"
After a pause, Fade finally nodded and said, "I'll trust you this time. I'll buy the map."
"Great! Five Frozen Jade Ice pieces, please." Panos handed over the map.
Fade took out five pieces of the Frozen Jade Ice from his bag and handed it to Panos.
Panos glanced at Fade's bulging bag and a strange look flashed in his eyes. However, he quickly returned to normal and accepted the Frozen Jade Ice with a smile.
Then, he continued to say, "In addition to the map, I also have a variety of elixirs, weapons, and martial arts techniques. Even if you need someone to help you fight, we can do it too. You can think about it."
"Not for the time being." Fade waved his hand and took the map, ready to explore deeper.
"Goodbye, sir. I'll see you again next time." Panos packed up his things and went into another ice tunnel and disappeared.
Fade opened the map and looked at it. He found that Panos was not lying. From 30 kilometers to 50 kilometers, there were dozens of territories, big and small, all occupied by various people.
The map outlined the scope of their territories and the names of their owners. Some even had their strength and famous events marked in great detail.
When he looked through the contents on the map, Fade saw two familiar names.
One of them was Single Arm. About 45 kilometers in, he occupied a piece of land of thousands of square meters. It was not a small territory. Moreover, there was a lot of information on him.
For example, when Single Arm was in his fifties and had reached the Lord Level, it was predicted that his martial essence had reached 15,000 streaks or so.
It was also written that he had
reached the Lord Level before the age of fifty in the Ice-sealed Realm There was a lot of other information written on the map, which was almost the same as what Fade had heard in the Ice-sealed Tower.
Besides Single Arm, there was another name that Fade had an impression of. It was Victor Clare, who was Skylar's father, and an elder of the Illuminate Association.
He was a famous martial artist, who
was more powerful than Single Arm. It was estimated that he had reached 17,000 streaks of martial essence. He occupied a territory with a larger area than Single Arm, 50 kilometers away, which was very admirable.
After Fade memorized the contents of the map, he was prepared to release his positive energy and to continue to explore deeper.
Just as he was about to release the ice essence, he suddenly thought of Panos, who had approached him silently earlier. His eyes revealed a hint of vigilance.
After Fade withdrew the ice essence, he released his fire essence and continued to explore deeper.
Just as he was moving forward,
Panos, who should have left a long time ago, suddenly turned back from the other ice tunnel. He looked at Fade's back and his eyes showed a greedy chill. "I've been waiting for so long. Finally, there is a fat sheep."
He gently knocked on the ice.
Soon, a petite man came up to him briskly. "Boss, what's the matter?"
"Go inform Kakuta that a fat sheep is going through his territory. If he's willing to join hands and kill this sheep, we'll share the profits 60/40," Panos instructed.
"Yes, Boss." The petite man received the order and immediately moved. His body swiftly disappeared into the meandering and complicated ice tunnel.
As for Panos, he silently followed behind Fade.
"This kid seems to be reckless. He dares to come to such a deep place with fire essence on his body. He's looking for death."
"Since you are looking for death, then don't waste it. It's better to benefit me than the others."
Fade, who was constantly on the move, quietly released the soul energy of his own spiritual consciousness while letting go of fire essence to explore.
His soul energy spread out quietly. Not long after, he detected a sneaky figure in an ice tunnel behind him.
"Panos from the Ice- sealed Realm. Haha, there's really something wrong with him!"
After he sighed in his heart, he locked onto the whereabouts of Panos behind him.
However, his actions remained unchanged, as though he continued to move forward without noticing anyone behind him.
When he came to a depth of 35 kilometers, he suddenly stopped, took out the map, and looked at it to determine the scope of exploration.
Then, he looked at the map and moved more than 100 meters to the left. He stepped forward after making sure that he had not entered someone's
territory.
However, before he could proceed, he heard a loud shout. "Kid, stop!"
A burly foreigner with a beard shouted and stopped in front of Fade.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
